Haggai 1:6 in Context — Haggai 1

4 Est-ce le temps pour vous d’habiter vos demeures lambrissées, Quand cette maison est détruite?

5 Ainsi parle maintenant l’Éternel des armées: Considérez attentivement vos voies!

6 Vous semez beaucoup, et vous recueillez peu, Vous mangez, et vous n’êtes pas rassasiés, Vous buvez, et vous n’êtes pas désaltérés, Vous êtes vêtus, et vous n’avez pas chaud; Le salaire de celui qui est à gages tombe dans un sac percé.

7 Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Considérez attentivement vos voies!

8 Montez sur la montagne, apportez du bois, Et bâtissez la maison: J’en aurai de la joie, et je serai glorifié, Dit l’Éternel.
